The Department of Electronics & Information Technology (DeitY), Government of India had in a notification announced that with effect from 3rd April’13, certain electronics and IT product categories would need to mandatorily register with BIS for ensuring safety standards.

The products falling under the mandated category are electronic games (video), laptops/ notebooks/tablets, plasma/LCD/LED televisions, optical disc players with built in amplifiers, microwave ovens, visual display units, video monitors, printers, plotters, scanners, wireless keyboards, telephone answering machines, amplifiers , electronic musical systems, electronic clocks with mains power, set top boxes, automatic data processing machines like servers, blades and desktop computers.

The regulation is seen as a step by the Government of India towards bridging the gap between people, technology and safety while ensuring safer products to Indian consumers.
